SEED CORN, SECOND-EARLY VARIETIES, continued 
Early Mastodon. A cross between White-Cap Yellow Dent and an early 
Dent. Well adapted to all sections. Ready for the silo in from 90 to 
95 days. 
Golden Beauty or Golden Ensilage. One of the best varieties we have 
ever introduced for ensilage purposes. Not only does it produce a heavy 
growth of stalk, but it matures sufficiently to make plenty of grain, so 
much desired by most farmers in their silage. Stalks grow 9 to 12 feet 
high. Grain a dark yellow. A result of seed-selection for several years. 
Hundred-Day Bristol. One of the most prolific varieties of medium-early 
Dent Corn. It does well on all types of soil, producing an abundant 
growth, with long ears bearing 10 to 14 rows of straw-colored kernels, 
white-capped. It has produced as high as 30 tons to the acre. 
Lancaster Sure-Crop. A high-yielding variety for both grain and ensilage. 
Largely used in some sections of the East as a husking sort. We recom¬ 
mend it as an early ensilage variety. It is ready for the silo in from 95 
to 100 days. 
Pride of the North. One of the old standard varieties for ensilage purposes. 
Stalks strong and vigorous, with dark foliage. Ears medium size with 
long, light yellow grain. It usually matures in 90 to 100 days. 
Thepage Early Dent. (A wonderful Corn for ensilage.) This is a com¬ 
bination of a yellow and white Dent Corn, produced on both red and 
white cobs. The grain is yellow with a white cap, produced on good- 
sized ears, 12 to 16 rows to the cob. On our trials it grew 10 to 12 feet 
tall and produced 30 tons of green fodder per acre. It easily reaches the 
dough or pulp stage in our most northern sections. 
West Branch and West Branch Sweepstakes. (The original Sweepstakes.) 
This variety is noted for both earliness and productiveness, and its 
adaptation to soil and climate. It meets the needs of the growers who desire 
heavy growth of stalk and foliage and a variety that is comparatively 
early. Stalks grow 10 to 12 feet high, with heavy foliage, and produce 
15 to 25 tons of ensilage to the acre. Ears are large, averaging 12 inches 
in length, containing 14 to 20 rows of red, white-capped, and yellow- 
tinted grains. Without doubt this variety is more largely used for 
ensilage purposes in the East than any other sort. 
LATE OR MAIN-CROP DENT VARIETIES 
True Eureka. Probably the most profitable for cutting green of any of 
the Dent varieties. It grows a mammoth stalk, 14 to 18 feet high, with 
an abundance of foliage. Extensively used for ensilage in many eastern 
states. Our stock is Virginia-grown. 
Pride of York or Golden Sweepstakes. This is the largest growing variety 
of yellow Dent Corn. Stalks grow 10 to 12 feet high, producing ears, 
in the early growing sections, 10 to 12 inches long, containing 10 to 
12 rows of broad yellow grains shaped like your thumb-nail. Stalks are 
rich in sugar, carbohydrates, and protein, making it valuable as an 
ensilage Corn. Our stocks are all northern-grown and are much earlier 
than most strains of this variety. 
Improved Learning. A very popular variety in the East. Our strain is 
much earlier than many sorts offered as Learning, and has been selected 
for ensilage as well as for its handsome heavy ears, with dark golden 
yellow grains. It will not mature in the far North, unless the season is 
very favorable. 
FLINT VARIETIES 
Early Yellow Canada. Without doubt the earliest 8-rowed yellow Corn. 
Grains are rather small, bright yellow, produced on a small cob. 
Golden Nugget. From the standpoint of both stalk and grain this is, 
unquestionably, the largest and most prolific yellow Flint. In a normal 
season it will mature in the New England and Middle Atlantic States. 
Very largely used for ensilage in short-season localities. 
Longfellow. Our strain of Longfellow is of much larger size than is usually 
offered. It ripens readily in our northern climate but is somewhat later 
than Early Yellow Canada or New York State 8-Row Yellow. 
Mammoth Yellow. One of the most productive Flint varieties used for 
ensilage. Readily matures in the ordinary season. It has produced 
over 20 tons of ensilage per acre with us. 
New York State 8-Row Yellow. We consider this the best strain of Early 
8-Row Yellow. It is produced for us in various sections of New York 
State, and is therefore acclimated to our eastern soil and climate. It is 
the variety most in demand for husking. Usually matures in 75 to 80 days. 
Sanford White. The most popular white Flint variety for our northern 
climate. Long, slender ears, well filled from end to end. 
Our constant effort is devoted 
to providing seeds that will give 
satisfaction throughout the vary¬ 
ing climates and on the different 
soils found in the East. As a 
rule, there is a variety specially 
adapted for each particular need. 
If in doubt as to what to plant, 
we will be pleased to give our 
opinion; also to send you our 
Corn Manual, which will give 
more complete descriptions, to¬ 
gether with a larger list of 
varieties.
